Chris Brown and Raz-B Get Into a Homophobic War of Words Online

Chris Brown and Raz-B engaged in a nasty tit-for-tat of homophobic and other insensitive put-downs on Twitter this week after the former B2K singer called out Brown over the abuse incident with ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

The fight began when Raz-B (@razb2k -- real name De'Mario Monte Thornton) casually tweeted: "Im just sittin here Thinking how can n---- like @ebenet [Eric Benet] and @chrisbrown disrespect women as Intelligent as Halle Berry, Rihanna."

Soon after, it was war for Brown (@chrisbrown) and he replied with a back-and-forth exchange filled with nasty remarks, for example, calling out Raz-B for being molested as a child and mocking him for being a boy band singer. Raz-B joined in with similar comments, several times accusing Brown of being on the "down low." See the highlowlights of the heated exchange after the jump.

Brown worked quickly to layer Raz-B with ruthless remarks, accusing him of being gay and a nobody.

Raz-B then began getting personal by torching Brown over the incidents with Rihanna.

Soon, Brown was getting barraged with accusations of being homophobic. His response?

But instead of taking the high road, Raz-B joined in with remarks accusing Brown of being gay.

Brown then went on to make light of Raz-B's previous acknowledgment that he was molested as a child.

This understandably set Raz off ...

Brown later apologized to his gay fans after news caught wind of the tirade.

"BTW...I love all my gay fans and this immature act is not targeted at you!!!! love," Brown tweeted.
